Industrial Design Undergraduate Program

This course introduces students to workshops and model-making materials, provides technical knowledge on model-making, and enables students to learn how to contribute to the design process by creating models.

The aim of this course is to ensure that students understand they will design by experimenting, improving their relationships with proportions, scale, and their hands.

1. Can develop original ideas by identifying design problems; synthesize information with critical thinking skills and create innovative solution suggestions.
2. Can express ideas in two and three dimensions in line with basic design and visual hierarchy principles.
3. Can effectively carry out the entire project process by gaining the skills to plan, execute and manage design processes.

Week 1: Introduction to the course, the necessity of model-making, and thinking with models. Alongside the studio course project, students will experiment with model-making in a design-focused approach. A tray or serving product will be created as an example.
Week 2: Cutting sheets with tools such as scissors, modeling knives, shaping, and gluing. Laminating to gain shape, curves, and strength.
Week 3: Producing alternatives for product handling, surface treatments, sanding, and creating clean products.
Week 4: Completion and presentation of the first product.
Week 5: Creation of a temperature meter model, disassembling the existing product, testing the internal components.
Week 6: Building volume with layers, model-making from inside to outside, experimenting with material differences.
Week 7: Presentation of the second product, showing surface quality with different materials, interfaces, textures. Polyester, silicone casting, and mold processes will be demonstrated.
Week 8: Experimenting with 3D queries for a product family, using molds to reproduce and predict further developments.
Week 9: Producing alternatives and conducting material studies on the effect of material and surface differences on design.
Week 10: Investigating the relationships of the product family individually and as a whole.
Week 11: Improving surface quality to understand and communicate products.
Week 12: Final project preparation and general review.
